Allow using generic trait methods in `const fn`

Next step for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67792, this now also allows code like the following:

```rust
struct S;

impl const PartialEq for S {
    fn eq(&self, _: &S) -> bool {
        true
    }
}

const fn equals_self<T: PartialEq>(t: &T) -> bool {
    *t == *t
}

pub const EQ: bool = equals_self(&S);
```

This works by threading const-ness of trait predicates through trait selection, in particular through `ParamCandidate`, and exposing it in the resulting `ImplSource`.

Since this change makes two bounds `T: Trait` and `T: ?const Trait` that only differ in their const-ness be treated like different bounds, candidate winnowing has been changed to drop the `?const` candidate in favor of the const candidate, to avoid ambiguities when both a const and a non-const bound is present.
